The hike starts by heading along the High Island Reservoir route in the Sai Kung East Country Park, then proceeds to the easterly endpoint where you get a view of the magnificent hexagonal volcanic column wall, which is one of the world’s largest formations of hexagonal columnar jointing, before descending for a closer view.

You walk back along the reservoir road, and into the Sai Kung Country Park. Both parts of the walk afford us views of water, either the turquoise blue of the reservoir or out to the sea and surrounding islands, themselves products of the same geological forces. Follow a lush green pathway used by villagers many years ago, and finish the tour in the Sheng Yiu Hakka village museum, which is a small carefully preserved village typical of the local area in former times.
